Overview

Perched at the start of elegant Calle Larios and moments from Malaga Port, Only YOU Hotel Malaga is a design-forward boutique bolthole made for stylish city breaks. Think rooftop pool with Mediterranean views, a destination restaurant above the skyline, and beautifully curated rooms that feel more like a private apartment than a hotel. Step outside and you’re straight into Malaga’s shopping streets, tapas bars and headline sights – the cathedral, Alcazaba and Picasso Museum are all an easy stroll away.

A shimmering rooftop pool framed by Malaga’s cathedral towers and the Mediterranean, a lobby that feels like a contemporary members’ club, and rooms dressed in rich textures and warm Andalusian light – Only YOU Hotel Malaga takes boutique city living up a notch. Everything is walkable, from Calle Larios boutiques to port-side chiringuitos, so you can sightsee, shop and swim in the same afternoon. For couples and style-conscious city breakers wanting Spain’s Costa del Sol culture rather than a beach package, Only YOU Hotel Malaga delivers the sweet spot: rooftop-pool glamour, high-end gastronomy and doorstep access to the old town and port. It’s around 15–20 minutes from Malaga Airport by taxi or transfer. See more Spain holidays.

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


Head to the rooftop and you’ll find one of Malaga’s most photogenic spots: a sleek, elevated pool with sun loungers and chill-out vibes, backed by views across the old town, cathedral and harbour. It’s a sophisticated space for daytime dips, slow sunsets and pre-dinner drinks from the rooftop bar.

Although there’s no beach directly at the hotel, Malaga’s city sands are easy to reach. Playa de la Malagueta, with its laid-back chiringuitos and barbecued sardines, is around a 15–20-minute walk or a short taxi ride away, combining big-city culture with a toes-in-the-sand afternoon.

Spa, sports & wellness
